Strength-Based Lean Six Sigma Explorative Workshop

Join us for a workshop on Strength-Based Lean Six Sigma, combining the principles of Lean Six Sigma with strength-based approaches and AI. Explore how to improve processes and achieve desired outcomes by leveraging strengths and positive deviance. Bridging the gap between problem-solving and AI, this workshop offers a fresh perspective on LSS.

  1. Strength-Based Lean Six SigmaExplorative Workshop 2012 WAIC, Ghent, April 26 David Hansen & David Shaked

  2. What knowledge is in the room? • Who has worked in/with organisations that use ‘classic’ Lean Six Sigma (LSS)? • What are the key points of LSS? • Who has tried any kind of Strength-based LSS? • What are you curious about?

  3. Your facilitators David Hansen • PhD candidate at Technical University of Denmark and consultant at Resonans • Research on Strength-based Lean with a focus on industrial production • Currently focusing on process improvements with the combination of problem solving and AI. • When I’m not working, I sing, and spend time in nature as a scout leader. • My next project will probably be to introduce AI practices for the 38 million scouts of the world. David Shaked • Certified Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt • Practices multiple strength-based facilitation approaches • Enjoys working with global corporate (and other large & complex systems) • Written several articles about SB LSS and currently working on a book. • hosting a LinkedIn discussion group • When I’m not working, I enjoy travelling, going to the theatre and applying Reiki healing. • When I’m done with SB LSS... My next project will likely be peace in the Middle East...

  4. The workshop today The why of Strength-based LSS

  5. Foundations

  6. Stories More stories Available…

  7. Characteristics of SB LSS (Live) • A fresh approach to LSS and its great tools through the lens of AI and strength-based approaches • Expanding the existing dialogues in organizations (by inviting strengths, positive deviance and a search for excellence) • Creating the ability to see strengths, best practices and value on top of problems, waste and defects (expanding “go see”) • A combined focus on the systems and the human sides – fully aligned with the teachings of Deming and the TaichiOhno (Toyota) • Reaching the desired LSS outcomes by using strength-based change principles What would you add?

  8. Principles in Strength-based LSS Operations Principles Change Principles • Value for Customer • Flow • Quality • Pull vs. Push • Continuous improvement • Constructionist • Simultaneity • Anticipatory • Poetic • Positive • Wholeness • +Other Strength-based & dialogue approaches(SF, PD, PP, EQ etc.)

  9. Approaches to SB LSS Don’t want/Want less Focus on: Want/More Look for and grow value Identify and expand good practices Find and study perfection for customer Desired Outcomes Eliminate Waste Remove Bottlenecks Reduce Defects Value for Customer Flow – materials/people/ information Quality – product and service

  10. Approaches to SB LSS Classic Lean Six Sigma SB Lean Six Sigma Outcomes Identify best practices (past & present) + When the problem isn’t there Identify gaps/Problems Continuous Learning And Improvement Analyse Root causes/patterns Explore/Analyse what & who helps success Solve / fix / innovate Dream Standardise Change Monitor (E)Valuate

  11. Bridging the Two Paradigms 1st Paradigm 2nd Paradigm AI + Strength-based Approaches Problem Solving Lean Six Sigma

  12. 1st Paradigm Bridge 2nd Paradigm Expand our Paradigms – use best of both Problem Solving Lean Six Sigma AI / Strength-based Approaches Strength-Based Lean Six Sigma

  13. ‘Creative’ applications... Whole system level – AI Summit then Lean to implement Whole process level – SB Process Improvement (Kaizen) Team Level – Building LSS project teams the AI way Add-ons/tools level – SB process map, ‘wish-bone’ analysis 100+ 25 8 David S David S & David H Whole of us

  14. Q&A Any clarifying questions?

  15. Group Work

  16. Round 1 Of everything you now know about SBLSS: What gave you energy? What intrigued you? What seems most useful? 5 min., Fill in notes on your group templates.

  17. Round 2 We have been engaged in taking classic LSS concepts and make them strength-based. Now you will get the chance! Take a typical Lean Six Sigma concept and use it as inspiration to create a Strength-based LSS concept. Capture on A4 template and put it on poster.

  18. The value of SB LSS • The next step op Lean Six Sigma – ”the future of Lean” • “Marriage made in heaven”: • Technical and human side of change • Analytical and intuitive thinking • Exceed problem solving in results (novel solutions, from good to great) • Meet clients where they and including their strengths (from LSS)… and then introduce strength-based • AI supports a culture of continuous improvement which is essential to the success of LSS • A bridge between the two paradigms: Problem solving and AI.

  19. Why include LSS? Isn’t AI enough?? • LSS tools & thinking  Common language to many change agents and organisations • Well tested practices for change and improvements • Strong in analytics, metrics, data and results-focus • LSS Brings focus on the customer • Tools to measure the effects (and potentially those of AI) • Brings systems, structure and a structured approach

  20. Reflections 2 Questions: • What have I discovered today that I can use at home? • What new Q’s do I have now? • Personal reflections  group reflections  share highlights with whole group on the poster

  21. Closure • Join our Journey... • Our cards • LinkedIn SB LSS Group • E-mails for resources • Capture in conference site • One word to describe the feeling now.
